Food Wars: Starting with Equipping the Greedy Wolf Pot

"Then let's choose seafood as the topic."

"The duration is two hours!"

"I'll be the judge too! You guys have no problem with that, right?" Kakuzaki Taki glanced at the ingredients for the practical test and continued.

"no!"

"no!"

"Then... let's begin now!" Kakuzaki Taki raised his slanted eyes slightly and announced the start of the food battle!

……

As soon as the food battle began, Kikuchi Sonoka instantly seemed like a completely different person.

The previous submissive attitude had completely disappeared, replaced by a strong fighting spirit.

Even though her opponent was the unknown Xiang Ji, Kikuchi Sonoka did not take it lightly at all and showed an extremely serious attitude!

It's imposing!

He looked like a warrior heading to the battlefield! Food battles are the most brutal battlefield for any chef!

Boom boom boom!

Boom boom boom!

Prawns, scallops, clams, mussels, squid, crabs, sea bream...

As Kikuchi Sonoka walked past the cooking station in the venue, her hand flashed across the table, instantly selecting the ingredients she needed and placing them into the basket.

Rice! Onions! Potatoes! Carrots!

Seafood curry?

After seeing the ingredients that Kikuchi Sonoka had selected, Xiang Ji had a general idea of ​​what dish she was going to make.

Seafood curry!

It is a highly representative local cuisine in Southeast Asia and the coastal areas of South Asia!

Not only Xiang Ji, but Kakuzaki Taki also figured out what dish Kikuchi Sonoka was preparing to cook.

The spices that Kikuchi Enka chooses are so obvious.

"Gourd, allspice, bay leaves... and angelica!"

"Japanese seafood curry rice?"

"Tsk tsk!"

"Kikuchi seems to be completely serious now? Is she sensing danger?" Kakuzaki Taki said, turning her gaze away from Kikuchi Sonoka.

Kikuchi Sonoka's forte is not Japanese cuisine, but French cuisine.

But Japanese cuisine is a required course for every student at Totsuki Academy!

Japanese seafood curry rice may seem like a very common home-style dish in Japanese cuisine, but the more basic and common a dish is, the more it tests the chef's skill!

The processing requirements for different types of seafood vary greatly. Different types of seafood have different characteristics, and chefs have very strict requirements for controlling these characteristics!

Besides pre-processing, cooking seafood also requires chefs to have a very high level of control over the heat and time.

Seafood has tender flesh and cooks easily.

Chefs need to precisely control the cooking time of each type of seafood, as overcooking will cause the seafood to become tough and dry!

……

"An octopus?"

"What dish does this kid want to cook?" Kakuzaki Taki wondered as his gaze returned to Xiang Ji.

Octopus is a popular seafood ingredient in coastal areas around the world. Whether in Asia, Europe, or the Americas, octopus is a very common ingredient in local cuisines!

Like Japanese food!

Octopus is a classic seafood ingredient that is used very frequently, appearing in everything from street food to high-end sashimi!

Chapter 5 Seven Star Instantaneous Blade Dance, Seven Star Breaking Army Octopus Silk

"They only took a live octopus?"

"Is this for sashimi?"

"Could this kid be trying to defeat Kikuchi with octopus sashimi?" Kakuzaki Taki's slanted eyes grew increasingly fierce as he looked at Xiang Ji.

Sashimi is a type of raw food where fresh fish and shellfish are sliced ​​and then dipped in seasonings and eaten directly.

In the Japanese culinary system, sashimi is undoubtedly one of the most representative dishes!

The topic is seafood!

Kakuzaki Taki wasn't surprised that Xiang Ji chose sashimi as a dish. What concerned him was that Xiang Ji was preparing octopus sashimi, not a sashimi platter!

Octopus sashimi!

A very common basic dish in Japanese sashimi cuisine, fresh octopus is processed, sliced, and served with soy sauce and wasabi!

But it's really too basic!

The basics are even more basic than the Japanese seafood curry rice that Kikuchi Sonoko chose. The cooking techniques are just the most basic knife skills and seasoning!

After selecting the ingredients!

Xiang Ji took the live octopus he had selected back to his cooking station, his eyes fixed on the throbbing octopus!

Immediately afterwards!

Xiang Ji slowly untied the knife pouch on his back, revealing an incomparably sharp giant blade!

……

【Equipment Name: Seven Star Blade - Giant Gate Blade】

Quality: Excellent

[Description: One of the kitchen knives used by Chef Yizhangqing Xiang En, the legendary chef of the Dark Cuisine world two hundred years ago! A legendary knife set crafted by the master knifemaker Luo Xie, representing the Giant Gate Star of the Big Dipper!]

[Attribute: After equipping the item, the skill: Seven Star Instant Severing Blade Dance +2!]

……

[Skill: Seven Star Instant Blade Dance]

【Type: Knife Skills】

[Note: This is one of the secret knife techniques in the world of dark cuisine; it requires the Seven Star Knife to use!]

……

Seven Star Blade - Giant Gate Blade!

Aside from the Greedy Wolf Pot, this was one of only two special pieces of equipment that Xiang Ji obtained from his own grandfather!

The legendary knife once used by Xiang Ji's ancestor, Xiang En.

Unfortunately, the original Seven Star Blade was a set of seven different blades, but when it came into Xiang Ji's hands, only the Giant Gate Blade remained.

The remaining six Seven Star Knives were unfortunately lost during the family's escape.

Furthermore, not a single one of the seven Seven Star Blades once used by the other ancestor, Raine, has survived!

……

"uh-huh?"

"Was the knife specially made?" When he saw Xiang Ji holding the Giant Gate Blade in his hand, Kakuzaki Taki's eyes immediately became serious.

Uniquely shaped knives!

Only chefs with special requirements for cooking will make special orders!

The stranger the knife!

The stronger the knife skills!

Chefs who lack knife skills are not qualified to order custom-made knives; at most, they can only order common kitchen knives based on their hands.

In other words!

Since Xiang Ji dared to use such a uniquely shaped kitchen knife, it means that Xiang Ji had absolute confidence in his knife skills!

Come on! Come on!

Now let her see just how good his knife skills are. What exactly was that dangerous feeling she had earlier?

Right under Taki Kakuzaki's gaze!

Suddenly!

A sharp whooshing sound rang out in the venue, accompanied by scattered air currents, and a trajectory that was difficult to see with the naked eye flashed past in the air!

A flash of cold light!

The live octopus struck by the blade was instantly sliced ​​into strips, slices, and pieces!

Boom!

Kakuzaki Taki, who witnessed Xiang Ji wielding his sword the entire time, stood there stunned, staring dumbfounded at Xiang Ji who had already put away his giant sword!

What's this?

How did Xiang Ji manage to do that? Could a human knife skill be this fast?

Unlike Kakuzaki Taki.

Xiang Ji simply clasped his hands together and performed a ritual of deliverance for the live octopus in front of him, as if the Seven Star Instant Severing Blade Dance he had just used was not his own!

……

"Seven Star Breaking Army Octopus Strips!"

"Please enjoy!" After Xiang Ji prepared the special sauce for the Seven Star Broken Army Squid Strips, he immediately served the Seven Star Broken Army Squid Strips to Kakuzaki Taki.

"Seven Armies Breaking the Stars?"

"Octopus strips?" Upon seeing the octopus strips, octopus slices, and octopus chunks on the plate, Taki Kakuzaki's brows immediately furrowed deeply!

Failed!

Failed!

It's supposed to be a high-speed knife that can cut ingredients in an instant, so fast that even the cutter can't see it clearly, but the final product looks like this!

Neat and uniform;

Clean and neat;

This is the most basic requirement for a chef's knife skills, especially for sashimi, where it is essential to ensure the aesthetic appeal of the dish after it is prepared!

But what is this Seven Star Broken Army Octopus Strip in front of me?

Silk or not;

Film or not;

Is it a piece or not?

The aesthetic appeal is a complete zero!

……

But when Xiang Ji saw Kakuzaki Taki's expression, he felt no worry at all, after all, this dish was a recipe passed down from their ancestor, Raine!

A legendary dish!

Only a renowned sword of comparable sharpness to the Seven Star Blade, combined with the secret Seven Star Instant Severing Blade Dance technique, could possibly produce such a dish.
